one quick question on sand beds

Ahhh don't mess with Conus unless you know for dang sure it's OK, like the two from Baja (buble gum and princess).

Google: Conus textile if you want to see one NOT TO BE MESSED WITH. I got a shell in a shipment of one with a large hairy red hermit in it. I had been searching for one for years so it was a very nice surprise.

Saw the following quote in reference to Fighting Conch. Anyone have this experience?

*****Hello, I have these conches in one of my tanks and found them to be very successful hunters. The bottom of my tank is littered with nerite snail shells. I was shocked to see them hunting in the same style as the cones. They send out a harpoon/whip like appendage and take down their prey. They do burrow around in the sand, but I find them hunting snails right off the sides of the glass. We have pictures of these events as well. ******

The Cerith snail is a small scavenger with an elongated spiral shell that is usually black with tiny white dots covering the entire shell. One of the most ideal scavengers, detritus eaters, and algae eaters these snails are perfect for the reef aquarium, quickly devouring detritus, uneaten food, decaying organics, fish waste, and several types of nuisance algae. Cerith Snails will often bury themselves in the sand, which will help maintain adequate oxygen levels in the substrate.

The Nassarius snail is a small scavenger with an oval spiral shell that resembles an olive pit, with a long tube-like siphon that protrudes from the end of the shell. One of the most ideal scavenger and detritus eaters, these snails are perfect for the reef aquarium, quickly consuming detritus, uneaten food, decaying organics, and fish waste. Nassarius Snails like to bury themselves in the sand, which will help maintain adequate oxygen levels in the substrate.

Is this what you wrote or is the a quote?

If it's a quote it really should be quoted. The code is very easy actually. {quote} text you are quoting {/quote} but don't use {} use []

 
Yes it was a quoteand my apologies for not making it such. I was just in a bit of a hurry to catch him before he left for the store. :)

For reference is was the description from the Divers Den.

In that case it should have a link as well :)

It can be a big bone of contention when you poach some one else's work, even on the internet. It's highly frowned upon.

Maybe you just simply don't know and that is why you are being sarcastic, but what you did is plagiarism at its finest and not only serves to put you in harms way but the club itself.

Whoa Gresham! Slow down

How you read that was not at all how it was meant.

It was meant to say:

1) Yes I get it and It'll never happen again....(and if you notice I usually post links or give credit when appropriate)
2) Yes I know better....but unfortunatly I was in a bit of a hurry to catch Jess and let it slide.(bad decision? yes)
3) and most importantly it was meant to say in a humours way I understand your position and what you're trying to say and I'm not cheesed that you lightly slapped my hand and there's no hard feelings! :)

Sorry it came off wrong. That certainly was not the intention.
